 State
of the art inventory tracking solutions provided by Hawkeye
Technology continue to give Quality Rail Services a decisive
advantage over our competition. Hawkeye Technology is the
leader in developing rail process management technologies
and has incorporated safety, environmental impact and audit-ability
within its flagship fuel management application.
Safety
Hawkeye monitors, and reports on, defects in critical components
which measure refueling levels. This minimizes the potential
for spillage and ensures the quick repair of damaged parts
by authorized railroad mechanical personnel.
 Environmental Impact
Hawkeye monitors, and reports on, the tank capacity
and fuel quantity of locomotives to ensure that fuel tanks
cannot be
over filled. In addition, by matching fueling needs to work
plans, Hawkeye maximizes efficiency and minimizes both costs
and environmental impact through reduced fuel storage in
fixed
storage tanks and the storage tank of the locomotive.
Audit-ability
Through a robust metering system, certified for accuracy by
the state department of weight and measurements, Hawkeye allows
you to maximize the value of fuel cost saving through direct
purchase from refineries. By providing reporting registers
which ensure accuracy in vendor fuel handling, Hawkeye makes
any discrepancy the responsibility of the vendor to resolve.
The Hawkeye fuel management system takes
fueling your fleet to the high-tech level, providing a sophisticated, computerized tool which gives you complete control over your company's lifeblood, fuel. The development of a true railroad-based fuel delivery and issue system goes beyond the simple needs of tracking the amount of fuel received into a storage tank or the amount of fuel that is issued to a locomotive. A truly interactive system gives the railroads control of fuel cost by locomotive and location.
The backbone of the Hawkeye Fuel Management mobile fueling network consists of communication between your company mainframe, the driver, and the computerized mechanisms of the equipment. Truck computers receive fueling order/instructions from headquarters. Drivers then use portable computers to control all functions remotely. Meter tickets and reports are generated by onboard printers and are then made available via secure Internet access. By removing the employee from the position of control, the railroad fueling plan is protected from human error, and fuel issues can be accurately mapped to work plans—allowing them to be varied according to the demand, and locomotive flexibility within those plans.
Reports available include:
- Daily fuel dispensement
- Weekly fuel activity report
- Work activity
- Authorized equipment to fuel
Hawkeye Fuel Management Benefits:
- Decreased Costs:
Computerized control of fuel devices and information transfer decrease fuel loss and human error
- Increased Accuracy:
Electronic meters track precisely how much fuel is used/transferred
- Increased Safety:
Intrinsically safe with remote controls and emergency shut-offs
